Wikipedia page shows it shorter, than D3A1 model, however this page shows (and describes) it longer. I even see, where is the difference:
Wikipedia page shows fuel capacity as 240 US Gallons, however other site shows it as 237.4 IMPERIAL Gallons, so much more.
On both pages weights of D3A1 are identical, however for D3A2 they are different:
In first case, difference between max, and min weight is 1552 kg (which is more, than 1242 kg difference of D3A1 model)
In second case difference is 1230 kg, so LESS, than D3A1.
Since both planes used IDENTICAL combat load, the only difference can be from amount of fuel.
Sources for Wikipedia have, amongst them, Francillon 1969/1970, while other page shows Francillon 1995.
Now, I have found only THIS.
99-22 is clearly Type 99 Model 22, so D3A2.
EMPTY WEIGHT at 2618, and no page reports THAT weight. Normal load is 3800, and it is identical to second page. Overload is 4122, which is identical to Wikipedia page.
So, calculating from overload, difference will be 1504 kg, little less, than on Wikipedia.
Calculating from normal load, it will be 1182 kg, little less, than in second page.
So, does anyone have any MILITARY source? Either Japanese characteristics, or Allied tests results? And REAL testing results, not calculations from fuel/engine. Obviously any general "Aircrafts encyclopedia" have questionable value in this matter.
